A cute neighborhood bookstore, nestled at the end of of the Queen Anne coffee co. A nice selection of books of all genres, magazines, postcards, greeting cards, and some gifts.

What a lovely spot. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the selection is the perfect size for anyone (like me) who tends to get overwhelmed in a super store. Plus all the books were organized very thoughtfully and there was a cute little gift section. But, even better, theres a patio in the back where you can sit and read. Really delightful.

As a middle school English teacher, I love this book shop! The book sellers are always helpful, full of recommendations, and willing to help me look for engaging books for my students.Even if I come in with an odd request (Can you help me find a book similar to XYZ, which I have never read but my students love??) they are willing to give their best shot!I have always left with a pleasant, helpful experience, and PLENTY of books! And puzzles, and pins, and totes, and gifts, and and and.... I love this place!Checkout my newest buy for a student - I think they will like it!

I see all of the positive reviews. My experience must be an anomaly. I visited over the weekend. The store has a table at the entrance to regulate the number of people who can enter and to ensure patrons sanitize their hands. Of course, I have no issue with this.The woman who greeted us at the entrance was less than welcoming--asking How may I help you. It resembled more of a questioning (What do you want) versus helpful/welcoming tone. I might have overlooked it if it didnt contrast what I observed while in the store. While browsing, several others approached the entrance, to which she (from a distance) welcomed them into the store by stating that they could just enter.

Very cozy little shop. The lady who runs is a freelancer editor and is very knowledgeable. They also have a book club which meets in a month to discuss. Felt good going there.

The lady who served me in this store was so nice I almost cried. Thats some high praise. Legit a brilliant bookstore with huge choice, great merchandising and just a great vibe. I could have stayed there all day. If you visit Seattle and need a place to go for a real vibe, come here.

Love this bookstore! And they have very safe policies during the pandemic. You can order online and pickup at door or you can browse for up to 30 minutes by appointment only. Gloves are both required and provided whole browsing, which I appreciate!

Truly one of the best book stores I have ever been to. I was in today with my daughter and they were incredibly accommodating, kind, and helpful. The selection is wonderful and the organization is ideal! Can’t wait to go back!

One of the only stores Ive found books from the School of Life, a UK based publisher. The woman helping me was all smiles and legitimately interested in doing all she could to help me find what I was looking for. You could tell she goes above and beyond to ensure people have a great experience.

I love my local book store. However, the guy said I would get a phone call Friday or Saturday afternoon at the latest with the 3rd and 4th books I paid for. They didnt call. My wifes birthday is Monday. The part owner phoned Sunday and apologized. They are small and have not got their hours straight on their website. They delivered the 2 books to my house near by. Apparently, the salesman didnt know the timing on the 2 other bookshipments

From WI. Been there to visit in 2014 and in November. Love your layout and everything about your store. And, of course, buying books! Great eye level shelves, descriptions of titles, you have it all! Best to you for for 2020.

Queen Anne Book Company is absolutely wonderful! I feel better the moment I walk in to their cozy space-its honestly the perfect space for a book store. The selection and variety of books is fantastic and I appreciate their best sellers and staff picks shelves. Im a loyal member of their rewards program which really pays off quicker than you would think! This is my go to spot for gift shopping on Queen Anne. I love QABC. Independent book stores forever!

Just maybe my favorite bookstore. I dont live in Seattle so I dont visit as often as Id like, but when were in the area its one of our must do stops. I love their staff recommendations, the selection they offer and just the pleasant surroundings.

Its so nice to have such a cute bookstore in the Queen Anne neighborhood. There is a coffee shop right in front. You can buy a book and read it there outdoor in the spring and summer.

Review №22

A lovely local bookstore. The selection is indicative of a smaller bookshop so expect to find a curated collection of books as opposed to mass selection of all the NYT Bestsellers. The staff promptly greeted me after I began looking around.When I went they were installing a new sign for the adjacent coffee shop and the whole place looked lovely.It seems like a great place to frequent if you live in the area.

Its a small shop so the choices are somewhat limited, but they can order stuff for you. Its kinda nice thats its not a huge store....its not very overwhelming and I like that. Also, the staff and patrons take a lot of care and time to read and review the books on their shelves. Theres a very well attended kids book section with woke and relevant choices. I really liked this shop.

I love coming in here and seeing the book selections and reviews of books. Today I was in a pinch and needed to grab some books for a family member. One of the women working stopped to offer help and went above and beyond in helping me find the right books. This is a great book store!

Love the book signings here. Parking is notoriously difficult. Arrive early for events as space fills up fast and you will have to stand the whole evening. Pre-buy the book if possible, although the signing lines are run very efficiently so the wait doesnt feel too excessive.

Love this cozy little gem of a store! Super helpful booksellers, awesome selection; have read 3 of their recommended books and they were all as good as the reviewer said theyd be; went to an author reading (Jo Baker, national best-selling author) that was just wonderful. Also saw Sherman Alexie there right after Thanksgiving. Thats some very high-end talent. Like I said...LOVE this place.
